Although we are warned to keep out because of unspecified danger, ruins accommodate a wealth of activities and are used as unofficial resources by city-dwellers." - Tim Edensor The above passage is taken from his site dedicated to British Industrail Ruins. Albeit small, the site is invaluable in that it offers deep insight into the connection of ruins to nature, materiality, order, and ultimately ourselves. http://www.sci-eng..._ruins/default.asp Tim Edensor is Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at Manchester Metropolitan University. His work, Industrial Ruins-http://www.bergpub...rs.com/?tabid=1580-is a vital contribution to our perspective on urban landscapes. If you have not read it, I urge you to. Hope you find this interesting. “...it’s how the curve comes to reassert itself over the straight line." - Philip Kemp UER Forum > Archived UE Website Updates > Tim Edensor - British Industrial Ruins (Viewed 692 times) All content and images copyright © 2002-2024 UER.CA and respective creators.
